Absolutely not.
Are you saying that in a justice system where we routinely see people get far less severe punshment for much more severe crimes, that anyone will actually get this type of sentence for being the "Low hanging fruit".

Part of how common law works is that intent of the law is taken into account. The people standing around drinking their slurpees, are often rounded up now, and never actually get charged with anything, they are technically breaking the law, and routinely not charged. Does this law actually change that?
Will they suddenly get thrown in jail because they've broken an law that people are claiming is redundant, and thus already not being enforced?
